Keep reading below, then schedule a test drive in Oklahoma City. Bringing your own numbers to the lot settles this faster than any spec sheet.

What should you decide before you shop for a CR-V in Oklahoma City?

Bob Howard Honda sells the CR-V and CR-V Hybrid new, and carries used and certified pre-owned CR-Vs, so you can compare all three paths at one store. New, Honda’s published 2026 pricing starts the CR-V at $30,920 for the LX (2WD) and the CR-V Hybrid at $35,630 for the Sport Hybrid (2WD), before tax, title and fees. We also sell new Honda models including the HR-V, Passport and Pilot.

Used, we offer used car specials and models priced under $15K. Our certified pre-owned CR-Vs come with a 172-point inspection done by factory-trained technicians, a free vehicle history report, and an extended powertrain limited warranty and bumper-to-bumper limited warranty, both backed by Honda.

Decide three things first: whether gas or hybrid suits you, which trim your budget reaches, and whether new or certified fits. Those answers narrow every visit that follows.

Which Honda CR-V trim fits your budget, gas or hybrid?

Gas CR-Vs start at $30,920 and hybrids at $35,630, so the cheapest hybrid costs $4,710 more to start. All-wheel drive adds $1,500 to the LX, EX, EX-L and Sport Hybrid, according to Honda’s 2026 pricing. Honda lists the standard equipment for each trim in its published 2026 specifications (Honda Info Center, 2026), so check those before you choose.

The gas lineup runs from the LX (2WD) at $30,920 to the EX-L (AWD) at $36,900, with the EX (2WD) at $33,150 in between. The hybrid lineup runs from the Sport Hybrid (2WD) at $35,630 to the Sport Touring Hybrid (AWD) at $42,550. The Sport-L Hybrid (2WD) lists at $38,725, and the TrailSport Hybrid (AWD) at $38,800.

Hypothetically, a buyer with a $36,000 ceiling before tax and fees could choose from six trims: the LX (2WD), LX (AWD), EX (2WD), EX (AWD), EX-L (2WD) and Sport Hybrid (2WD). Tax and fees come on top of the list price, so leave room for them.

Should you buy the CR-V Hybrid or the gas CR-V for Oklahoma City driving?

Pick the hybrid when fuel economy leads your list, and the gas CR-V when towing matters. The front-wheel-drive hybrid is EPA rated at 40 mpg combined, against 30 mpg for the gas model with the same drive (U.S. EPA, 2026). The city rating shows the widest gap, at 43 mpg for the hybrid against 28 for gas.

Honda rates the Sport Hybrid to tow 1,000 pounds, and the LX to tow 1,500 pounds. Oklahoma City’s average one-way commute is 22.1 minutes, according to a 2025 GreaterOKC report that cites the Yardi Kube ranking (GreaterOKC, 2025). AAA puts Oklahoma’s 2026 average for regular gasoline at $3.9061 a gallon (AAA, 2026), so every fill-up shows the difference.

Bob Howard Honda leads OKC Honda dealers in Google reviews

We hold 4.5 stars across 4,311 Google reviews as of October 2026, and 82 in 100 of them are five-star. Of the three Oklahoma City Honda dealers, we have the most reviews.

A rating backed by that many reviews tells you more about a dealer than a star average alone.

What does the documentation fee cover when you buy a car in Oklahoma?

Oklahoma sets no dollar ceiling on a dealer documentary fee (Oklahoma New Motor Vehicle Commission, 2026). The documentary fee is a dealer-added fee, and the state’s definition lists it beside processing, service and handling, administrative, closing and ADP fees (Legal Information Institute, 2024). The same rule states, in full: “It is prohibited to state or imply that a dealer-added fee is required by law or by any government agency.”

For the excise tax, a documentary fee is not part of the vehicle’s actual sales price, because it pays for a service the seller provides (Legal Information Institute, 2024). Ask for the documentary fee as a dollar figure on the written quote, with the amount written out.

How do you get pre-approved and value your trade at Bob Howard Honda?

In a January 2026 Google review, Chris R. wrote: “Easy to work with. Kristel was great. Didn’t waste our time. Fair on sale price and trade in value. Will buy from here again.” That customer called the sale price and the trade value fair.

What should you ask at a Honda CR-V test drive in Oklahoma City?

Ask for the exact trim you drove, its price, and the out-the-door figure in writing before you agree to anything. Book the drive online or by phone at Bob Howard Honda, 13201 N Kelley Ave, Oklahoma City, OK 73131. Call sales at (405) 753-8700 or service at (405) 753-8778.

Compare the quoted price with Honda’s published starting price for that trim, $30,920 for the LX (2WD) or $35,630 for the Sport Hybrid (2WD), and ask what the difference covers. Ask whether the documentary fee appears as its own line, as the fee section above explains.

FAQ

Which Honda CR-V trims come with all-wheel drive?

Most of the lineup does. According to Honda’s 2026 specifications, the LX, EX, EX-L, Sport Hybrid, Sport-L Hybrid and Sport Touring Hybrid come with all-wheel drive, and the TrailSport Hybrid is all-wheel drive only (Honda, 2026).

What safety features come standard on a new Honda CR-V?

The 2026 CR-V carries a 5-star overall NHTSA safety rating, the highest score (GizmoDriver, 2026). For the standard safety equipment on each trim, check Honda’s published 2026 specifications.

How much seating and cargo space does a CR-V have?

According to Honda’s published 2026 specifications, the LX and EX (2WD) have 41.3 inches of first-row legroom and 41 inches in the second row. Cargo room behind the first row is 39.3 cubic feet, and the maximum is 76.5 cubic feet. The Sport Hybrid (2WD) lists 71.8 cubic feet at its maximum.

What warranty comes with a new Honda CR-V?

Honda’s 2026 basic warranty runs 3 years or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first. The powertrain warranty runs 5 years or 60,000 miles, whichever comes first, and corrosion coverage runs 5 years with no mileage limit, according to Honda’s 2026 warranty booklet.

What should an out-the-door quote on a new CR-V include?

Ask for the vehicle price, the motor vehicle excise tax at 3.25% of that price, and the title and transfer fees Service Oklahoma lists (Oklahoma Statutes, 2026; Service Oklahoma, 2026). Hypothetically, a $30,920 LX (2WD) pays $1,004.90 in excise tax, before any trade-in credit. Ask the dealer to list each dealer-added fee on the quote with its amount, as the fee section above explains.
